R3 top speed video

235 KPH doesn't seem like very much. 146 MPH. I noticed he was in 5th gear and didn't get much over 5,000 rpm.

Bill I had mine up to the limiter when we were out in Utah with you guys. 147 mph flat out and limited at that speed. I hate to say it but that run in the video is weak chicken chit. For much of the early part of the video and thought it was mph with the limiter removed but after realizing it was kph I thought it was pitiful.

I think he was a little in awe with the size of the bike so didnt give it the full handful...a couple of those places looked like they were long straights...ide be interested what the bike would reach with a rider who was at ease on it....i had my 2020 GT up to 240 with Penner's tune but my angel spoke to me so backed off...felt it would have gone quicker...but...how fast do you need to go?...I wouldnt try it on normal roads,,,too bumpy...etc....Good video tho...

Even if my bike didn’t have this vibration problem, I don’t think I’m comfortable with those speeds anymore either. My brain tends to go into chicken sh@@ mode at about 185 these days. Who knows....Maybe the vibration issue is a life saving speed Governor for me these days.

I guess when you go over the crest of 60, you realize you ARE in fact mortal
